Highly recommend Tehanu now. It’s the perfect cap to the original trilogy.

Just in the most recent election! It was an ok experience; I’d like to see what a “regular” election is like, haha.

This last election was bonkers in oh so many ways.
I realized I put the same goal twice on my dang bingo (writing up Pathfinder spider lore). However, that goal easily breaks down into two goals (writing up the lore for 1E and 2E, which will vary in terms of mechanics and statistics and so needs to be balanced differently), so I guess that’s what I’ve just done? Cool/whoops?!

!!! I found my last square. I almost certainly won’t get it, but I want to try. My neighbor invited me to the FB group for this: https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/
So I want 1000 hours for Latte.
To make this happen, I’ll definitely have to count overnights in a tent or trailer camping lol. I’m loosely planning 333 hours for the 6 crappier months then 667 hours for the 6 nicer months. TBD on dates.

Late reply but:
I just got gifted a giant illustrated collection of them and it’s honestly the best way I’ve been peer-pressured into reading anything

I really enjoy looking at everyone’s bingo cards; they give me inspiration and also a sense of everyone’s goals, hobbies, and values. Here’s mine:
| B | I | N | G | O |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Finish 3 sewing projects | Finish grad school | Learn a dance | Put up wallpaper | Finish 3 cross-stitching projects |
| Listen to all of my records | Call grandparent | Crochet a square | Increase credit score | Bake something from the Great British Bake Off |
| Try meditating | Declutter 20 clothing items | Give cat a belly rub | Write and mail 3 letters/cards just for fun | Read or listen to 6 books from current collection |
| Order food from a new (to me) Indian restaurant | Spend time near a body of water | No tv/video streaming for 7 consecutive days | Learn a new way to style my hair | Have a solo karaoke party |
| Make soup | Walk 10,000 steps a day for 100 days (does not need to be consecutive) | Complete 60 day German duolingo streak | Declutter 50 non-clothing items | Use up 4 non-routine toiletries |

I’m in. I mostly edited the 2020 one.
With last year in mind, no travel included this year and no spending restriction challenge included. There are two cases that I’ll adapt depending on how 2021 unfold. I want to run a 5K/8K. If the run is cancelled/posponned, I’ll just run the day and record my time and call it done. I want to take swimming lessons; if they are not offered and the pool is safe at some point, I’ll go and swim by myself and call it done; if I don’t feel safe going to the pool I’ll take lessons on something else outdoor (maybe riding or tennis or skiing).

Still working on mine, 5 more blocks to fill in. Trying to not pick many year long goals or travel related ones.

Don’t know yet. Maybe a Corner to Corner blanket. I’ve been wanting to try on of those out. We’re sort of in the process of redecorating our living room and it’salso part playroom for Puglet so it’s hard to even think what kind of design/colors I want to use.

January update!
Made lots of progress in squares I didn’t think I would get this month (the “Bike 20 miles” one and “Knit something in lace” one), and then didn’t get the one I was especially aiming for (“Spend $300 or less on food”) 
The coral ones are my goals for February. Definitely frontloading the easier goals, ha.
